If Stix gets the Flu (which I hope he doesn’t), I can build stuff too, I used to live in WA. I don’t have a 7mm, but I can buy one!

Seriously though, that sounds like a great Fringe Benefit of the job :thumbsup:

I have done a heap of research and in 2003 the government stepped in and started to deal with the problem.Apparently there were over a million camels in Australia.Last year 60 tonne of camel was removed from Gunnadorah

Yeh apparently they were selling the camels back to the middle east cause they were all crossbreed and had disease ours were really healthy. Don't know if they still are or not, but fell free to let us know how you go and post some photos if you manage to shoot some pests.

Have you worn out the barrel on your 7mm yet? If you have run out of ammo I can run some out to you!

Duncan, if you like, SCJ429 can pick me up so both of us can collect the parts on the way out to you.
